Geographic Information
Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelagic state - the country stretches over more than 17,000 islands. Only 6,000 of these islands are inhabited, though. Being one of the biggest rain forest areas worldwide, it’s always quite hot and humid. Some islands are controlled by the monsoon.

Tourism is a quite important factor in Indonesia and an important source of income. The world heritages Borobudur and Prambanan on the island of Java are popular tourist spots, exactly like Sumatra.
